"EUNTED STATE FATENT LOUIS DUNKELSBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

GOGGLES.

Application filed November 1'7, 1916.

To all "whom it wm j concern:

Be it known that 1, Louis DUNKELSBERG, a citizen of the United States, and resident of 85 Hooper street, borough of Brooklyn, city of New York, in the county of Kings and State of New York. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Goggles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in goggles, especially designed for use by drivers of automobiles and other vehicles who are likely to be subjected to the action of grit, dust, and other foreign matter while driving or speeding on dusty roads.

The main object of this invention is to provide a light, durable, flexible, economical, and eflicient construction of goggles that may be readily folded and carried in the pocket or case to prevent injury thereto when not in use.

A further object is to so construct my improved goggles that they will constitute a simple and effective protection for the eyes and permit an eflieient vision, each section of the frame being made of celluloid and so constructed that its edges will fit the contour of the face to prevent the entrance of dust or other foreign matter thereunder, and provided with an integral lens cup pressed from the central portion having an opening adapted to receive a suitable lens fitted snugly within the cup and easily removed therefrom to replace another.

The foregoing and such other objects as may appear from the ensuing description are attained by the novel features of construction, arrangement and location of the parts hereinafter more fully described, illus trated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

Reference now being had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification. and in which similar numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, it will be seen that Figure 1, is a front view of the improved goggles embodying my invention.

Fig. 2, is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 22, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3, is a plan View illustrating the goggles when the sections are folded together, and

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 131,851.

Fig. 4: is a front view of the goggles showing the frame made from a single piece.

In carrying out my invention, the two sections or members 10, constituting the goggle frame, are each pressed or stamped from one sheet of celluloid, with a lens cup 12 pressed outward from the central portion thereof provided with an opening adapted to receive a lens 13, which is snugly fitted within the cup and is seated against an inward annular extension formed at the outer terminal of each cup, from which cup the lens may be readily removed in order to're place another more suitable one.

The inner end of each section 10 is so constructed that they form the bridge piece and the edges are shaped to conform with the contour of the bridge of the nose, and the overlapping ends of the said sections are joined together by a suitable pivot stud 11, so that one section may be laid or folded over the other section and thereby the two be nested together, so as to take up but half the space occupied by the entire frame of the goggles.

To the outer end of each section 10, is secured by suitable rivets 15, the sections 14 of a band by which the goggles are securely held in place on the head of the wearer, said sections of the band at the other end thereof being provided with adjustable locking means 16, whereby the band may be contracted or expanded to suit the size of the head of the wearer.

The entire outer edge of each section 10 is so constructed that the edges will be formed to fit the contour of the face, and. are preferably formed with an inwardly proj ecting rim or bead, so that the edges will so closely fit the contour of the face as to prevent the entrance of dust or other foreign matter beneath the goggles.

By reference to Fig. 4c of the drawings it will be seen that the goggle frame 17 is stamped from a single sheet of celluloid provided with lens cups 18, to which are fitted the lenses 19, and to each outer end of the frame is secured by a rivet 21 the sections 20, constituting a securing band, the central portion of the frame being provided with a recess 22 to form a nose bridge.

Having thus described my invention what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Pat-- ent is 1. A goggle comprising two flexible sec- Patented May 8, 1917.

tions of celluloid overlapping each other at their inner ends and pivotally united at their overlapping ends, each section having an integral cup-shaped portion pressed outward from the central portion thereof terminating in an inward annular extension, a lens fitted in each cup and seated against said annular extension, and an adjustable securing band riveted to the outer end of each section.

2. A goggle comprising two flexible sections overlapping each other at their inner ends and pivotally united at their overlap ping ends and adapted to fold in a single plane, each of said sections having an integral cup-shaped portion pressed outward from the central portion thereof terminating in an inward annular extension, a lens fitted in each cup and seated against said extension, and a section of an adjustable securing band riveted to the outer end portion of each of said flexible sections.

Signed at New York city in the county of New York and State of New York this 6th day of September A. D. 1916.
